While many funders have expressed their commitment to addressing inequities in their communities, there is often still a disconnect between these aspirations and the grantmaking strategies needed to truly improve opportunity and outcomes for all.
Join Applied Research Center (ARC) and the Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity (PRE) in a webinar as they share key findings from Catalytic Change: Lessons Learned from the Racial Justice Grantmaking Assessment. Speakers will share strategies to determine and refine the ability of your own grantmaking to achieve systemic and racially just solutions.
The webinar will also feature the heads of the two foundations who piloted the assessment, offering practical insights from boards, staff, and grantee partners that you can build upon in your work.
Presenters:
- Rinku Sen, Executive Director, Applied Research Center
- Lori Villarosa, Executive Director, Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity
- Patricia Brandes, Executive Director, Barr Foundation
- Margaret O'Bryon, President and CEO, Consumer Health Foundation
In this webinar, you will learn to:
• Establish a racial justice lens in grantmaking;
• Move beyond the "diversity lens" and recognize the potential and limitations of intervening at the individual, institutional, or structural levels;
• Create a clear set of definitions, questions and processes to help assess internal and external systems that support people of color;
• Understand how being explicit vs. implicit about racial dynamics can affect outcomes; and
• Use analytic tools to examine the efficacy of organizational commitments to racial equity.
We will mix presentation and interactive dialogue, so come prepared with your own questions and examples to facilitate an active discussion. We have reached out to a diverse set of funding networks nationally, recognizing that concerns of racial equity touch upon all geographic and issue-based networks.
